A Sauna Fits Inside This Spaceship-Like $85K Tiny Cabin

Welcome to Prefab Profiles, an ongoing series of interviews with people transforming how we build houses. From prefab tiny houses and modular cabin kits to entire homes ready to ship, their projects represent some of the best ideas in the industry. Do you know a prefab brand that should be on our radar? Get in touch!

In the 15 years since its founding, Hello Wood has gone from making infrastructure for summer camps to designing flat-pack cabins, homes, and commercial spaces. All the while the studio has continued to refine a prefab design called the Pebl, which started as a detached studio clad in wood or aluminum (or any material that could be cut into panels) before being developed into a collection of cabins for a resort in west Hungary.

Now the firm has built a larger version of the Pebl, called the Pebl Grand, for a repeat client, a father who once had the firm design an airplane-shaped playhouse for his daughter. Here, the studio shares what’s different about the larger unit.

What does the Pebl Grand cost and what does that include?

The Pebl Grand starts at €73,000 (approximately $85,000 USD). The exact price depends on the level of equipment, material choices, and quantity. The units are designed like a five-star hotel suite, with a king bed, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, panoramic infrared sauna, and large glass surfaces. We can also deliver the unit completely turnkey according to customer requirements. On-site installation and a deck can also be included.
